Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch thick rounds
8 large shallots, sliced
7 tablespoons olive oil, divided
12 cloves garlic, halved
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (16 ounce) package ziti pasta
1 cup chopped fresh basil, divided
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Toss zucchini, shallots, 5 tablespoons oil, garlic, and crushed red pepper in a bowl until coated. Spread on rimmed baking sheets and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Roast vegetables in the preheated oven, turning occasionally, until tender, about 30 minutes.
  • While vegetables are roasting, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook ziti pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 9 to 12 minutes. Drain, reserving 3/4 cup cooking water.
  • Toss cooked pasta with 1 tablespoon oil. Transfer to a large pot. Add roasted vegetables, 1/4 cup cooking water, and remaining 1 tablespoon oil; stir over medium heat until heated through. Add 3/4 cup basil and Parmesan cheese. Toss, adding remaining cooking water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if dry. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with remaining basil sprinkled on top.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I would have liked more garlic and maybe some red pepper flakes.
